Darrell,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI diesel forum.

What transmission do you have?

With all the different configurations, any time you ask a question it is best to put everything you know about your truck in the question.

If that has an overdrive automatic tranny it would be an E4OD 4 speed automatic.

For that answer, we will have to wait for one of the members with an E4OD automatic to come in this evening.

I am strictly a manual tranny guy.

Yep the overdrive button portion of the overdrive portion of the shifter is a common site for problems. I think the whole shifter handle is about 150 bucks and that is everything new. It's been a while since I did one but I recently rebuilt a column and had to change the shaft the shift handle rides in. It's very easy all you do is pull the trim, pull the tumbler out of the column, pull the column cover, then the disconnect the connector for the overdrive off wire and pull the pin from the handle reassembly is the reverse of removal. I can change one myself in under 15 minutes start to finish. For someone who has never done one I would set yourself over a couple hours to do it right. PM me if you have any questions.
